Global ATS

Global ATS is an air traffic control training company in the United Kingdom. It trains air traffic controllers and air traffic management staff. The site calls it the UK's only privately owned air traffic control training provider. Its students come from the UK and from other countries.

The company runs its college at Gloucestershire Airport. The site says the college is UK CAA approved and ICAO compliant. Students train on air traffic control simulators supplied by the company's partner Micro Nav. The site describes the college as a place for hands on learning.

The course list is wide. It covers UK ATC courses and UK continuation courses. It also offers ICAO ATC courses and ICAO continuation courses. Other courses cover air traffic management, safety management and English language training for aviation. Aptitude and suitability assessments are also offered, including FEAST assessments.

Continuation courses are for qualified controllers who want to become trainers. The site names roles such as classroom instructor, on the job training instructor and assessor. The ICAO continuation courses prepare people for rater and competency assessor roles.

The company also offers consultancy in air navigation services. The site says its team has more than 150 years of combined expertise. It describes long term partnerships that help other training organisations improve their own programmes.

The site lists four leaders. Dave Marshall is Director of Operations, Paul Kay is Director of Training, Andy Cameron is Academy Director and Richard Barker is Product Manager. The home page says trainee controllers can start at a salary of £20,000, rising to £45,000 after training.

Students can use a student portal and student links on the site. The company says it has been in air traffic control training for over 25 years. The site has a contact form and a LinkedIn page.
